Overseas University Presentations at Waseshibu

In January and February, our school had the privilege of hosting a series of informative overseas university presentations by representatives from leading international education providers. These sessions offered students valuable insights into direct entry pathways, entry requirements, and what to expect when studying abroad.

Kaplan International Pathways – Monday, 20th January 2025

Ms. Dong Hui and Ms Yantong from Kaplan International Pathways visited our school to introduce students to the direct entry routes available through their partnerships with prestigious universities. Kaplan collaborates with multiple Russell Group universities, including the University of Liverpool and the University of Birmingham. We were also delighted to welcome Ms. Joey from the University of Nottingham and Ms. Lisa from the University of Glasgow, who joined the session to discuss their respective institutions. The students asked relevant questions about studying overseas, and the session concluded with a generous distribution of gifts from the university representatives, which were enthusiastically received.
